Marc, please choose a more appropriate list next time. LKML is not for user questions about "Why doesn't my monitor+GPU work?"

Uhh, no; 1680x1050 does not require a dual-link DVI port/cable. As to a good GPU which "Just Works(TM)" out of the box and still has at least passable render performance (although not for some modern games), the R200-series Radeon cards (listed below) work extremely well. They even support a 3d-accelerated merged-framebuffer Xinerama- style; you can split a 3d-accelerated window across both monitors.
